DB & Switchboard Work in Dubai
Distribution board (DB) and switchboard work across Dubai — breaker replacement, DB upgrades, labelling, and fault rectification with the applicable electrical requirements reviewed. WhatsApp a photo of your board for a quote.
The Heart of Your Electrical System
Your distribution board controls and protects every circuit. SKN’s electricians replace faulty breakers and RCDs, upgrade under-rated or aging boards, correct overloaded arrangements, and label everything clearly — with the applicable DEWA requirements and approval boundary reviewed for the scope.
Send a photo of your DB and describe the issue on WhatsApp for an accurate quote.
In Dubai apartment towers and offices, the DB may sit inside the unit while the main switchboard or riser is building-managed. Share a clear exterior photo only, the building or community, the circuits affected, and any management or access requirements. For villas, include the number of floors, major loads such as AC units or ovens, and whether the board trips under normal use; do not remove covers or touch live components.

DB / Switchboard — Indicative Dubai Pricing
Planning bands only; final pricing depends on board size, breaker or RCD specification, enclosure condition, circuit count, testing, access and whether supply or load approval is involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
If it’s under-rated for your loads, aging, lacks RCD protection, or trips frequently, an upgrade improves safety and reliability. We’ll assess and advise.
We work to the applicable DEWA requirements and identify where approval is required. DEWA regulations require circuits in distribution boards to be identified and labelled; supply changes, load additions, metering, main-panel or network-related work may need prior DEWA, building-management or enrolled-contractor approval.
